to her to find herself at the gates of q

of proud exultation which runs through
her us she gazes at it., and e1claims

least, be monarch of all l survey" How
pleasant to see the qualification with
which her masters gradually discover
that one eager mind is drinking in all

her difficulties! How pleasant, again

Have you heard whit they arc saying

Secrets eagerly %betraying
About your affairs and mine?
Foes and friends receive attention
From each chatting beau and belle,
And they casually mention
That Marie has married we'll"
"Mnrricd WE'LL" All, that's expressive,
And from it we understand
Thai the bridegroom has excessive
store OF ducnts at command.
Is no good? He has his vices.
Has he brains? We scarce con tell.
Handsome? Hardly! 1t suffices,
If Marie has married well.
Does she love him? Loves n passion,
Childish in this latter day.
She will dress in hight of fashion,
AND her bills he'll promptly pay.
Does he love her? Wildly, madly!
Since he bought his %trotter, Nell"
He hos welcomed nauSht as gladly;
Yes, Marie has married we'll.
Is she happy? That's n trifle;
Happiness is bought and sold;
And she readily can stile
Love shc used to know of old.
VOL che knows Il heart is broken
AS for hers-sho cannot tell;
Bu: her bridal VOWS are spoken,
And Marie has married we'll.
In this game IL should give needing
To the stakes, not gcntle arts;
And. when diamonds arc leading,
Whore's tho use of playing heartsf
Congratulate her gladly;
But the wish I can't dispel
Tint most girls may marry badly,
